Cabanas is a small and pretty fishing village and is not overcrowded with tourists. It remains largely unspoilt and has a friendly, family atmosphere. The whole village can be leisurely strolled, from end to end, in around 30 minutes and has an excellent choice of restaurants, bars and cafes catering for all tastes - most of which are along the sea front capturing the day time sunshine. For smaller budgets and a taste of the real Algarve, there are also a number of traditional bars and Tascas serving typical Portuguese meals in the back streets at very reasonable prices! The village has 2 good supermarkets with a range of fresh produce and there is also a daily market, butchers and bakers. There are relatively few gifts shops, but in the height of summer, there are stalls selling hand crafted goods. Cabanas is not a destination for those seeking activity and night life - the atmosphere is generally relaxed and is perfect for socialising, relaxing and dining. Good bus/rail links.

THE BEAUTIFULTOWN OF TAVIRA : When staying in this apartment, a visit to the beautiful town centre of Tavira is essential! Once known as the capital of the Algarve, Tavira stands proud amongst Portuguese history books and you will not fail to be enthralled by its unspoilt charm, character and tranquility. As you wander along the cobbled streets, you'll see an abundance of history and wonderful architecture. A Roman bridge links the 2 parts of the town across the River Gilao, its sides decorated with traditional old bars and restaurants - perfect for lazy lunches or a glass or 2!.

On one side of the town there is a large square which has entertainment in the summer months, and by crossing the Roman Bridge to the other side of the town, you will find a little more life in the evenings with a great selection of restaurants tucked away down the streets and a few later opening café/bars. Features and things to visit include the many churches (37 in total!), the Town Castle and the Camara Obscura with its stunning aerial views. There is a range of shops to explore, as well as the old market building recently restored with cafes, shops and artisan, and also the traditional indoor market selling locally grown produce and fresh fish. To enjoy and see the full Tavira aspect, you can take the passenger train which follows a set route around the town, or you can personalize your experience by taking a ‘TUK TUK’ tour in the small vehicles for 2 – 6 persons.

LOCAL BEACH & THINGS TO SEE AND DO: As a naturally formed island separated by the River Formosa, the Beach Island of Cabanas is reached by catching a small and inexpensive water taxi from the waterfront. Facilities are offered including snack bars, sun beds for hire and a wonderful holiday atmosphere amongst golden sands and the Atlantic Ocean. By travelling a little further afield there are a good range of things to do for everyone. For nature lovers, forest walks, cruises along the River Guadiana or nature trails along the Ria Formosa Reserve where bird watching is in abundance! Travelling West there are some excellent shopping centres in Faro and Ghia as well as the famous Water Parks and Zoo Marine all easily reached by car or by day trip coach. The Spanish border town of Ayamonte is approx 25 km by car, where the delights of another country can be sampled along with wine, Tapas and shopping. Ayamonte can also be reached by ferry from Vila Real. Seville is about 170km away, and budding historians may enjoy Castro Marim Castle.

GOLF INFORMATION: This is perfect accommodation for golfers wishing to sample the excellent courses situated in the Eastern Algarve. Within a 20km radius there are 7 courses to choose from. Benamor and the 2 Quintas (Ria and Cima) are the most popular and can be reached within several minutes. The prestigious new course of Monte Rei designed by Jack Nicklaus now has its first 18 holes open and is continuing in its development to the second phase offering the height of golfing luxury - although a costly experience, this is a real treat for golfing fanatics wishing to experience a little high life! Travelling only 10kms further on towards Spain, the challenging course of Castro Marim, along with its famous country club comes highly recommended and just on the Spanish border are the Costa Esuri and Quinta do Vale courses now growing in popularity.

Great family holiday

Perfect accommodation for a family, with a wonderful roof terrace for relaxing into the night and a pool integrated into the complex. With the beach just a short walk away and restaurants, bars and play area even closer, an ideal set-up for adults and children.

Wonderful

This was a delightful treat to stay in - so much space, in particular outside, with terrace and roof, making it easy to be as cool or as hot as you wanted. Spotlessly clean and really well-maintained I would not hesitate in recommending this property to anyone. Cabanas has all you need - restaurants aplenty, some close by the apartment, one which specialised in providing for vegetarians (a bit of a rarity). The beach, a short boat trip away ... really short ... was great - kids enjoying waves - and while there was a bar/food available, it was not intrusive. All in all - wonderful.

Excellent family rental

We recently spent 10 fantastic nights in this property. We have two kids aged 6 & 2 and it was ideal for us, safe for the kids, in an ideal location close to beach and all the amenities yet quiet. Apartment spotless, with everything we needed and more! Pictures don't do it justice, huge, safe outside area with BBQ, plus a huge roof terrace. Management team at Smartavillas , Rachel, Denise, Jo and George were professional, courteous and very helpful, would reccommend using their team to book holidays.
